    Schillaci

    Subscribe to the audio blog on Spotify | YouTube | Apple Seamus sat at the table, leaning forward, cereal box in one hand and his spoon moving methodically from his bowl of Corn Flakes to his constantly accepting gob.

    The Rat Bastard

    Subscribe to the audio blog on Spotify I glared down at my empty piece of paper. Maybe empty was the wrong word. Quiet, it was a quiet piece of paper, as quiet as the room in which I now sat. The mood, the humor, the sense of any frivolity had been sucked clean out of […] The post The Rat Bastard appeared first on .

    I Ran Away From Home

    Subscribe to the audio blog on Spotify | YouTube | Apple I was the rural 90s Ireland version of Michael Bluth when I was a child. I never uttered his famous words “I’m done with this family,” but during my childhood, I walked out of the homestead with no intention of returning more times than I care to remember. Kids […] The post I Ran Away From Home appeared first on .

    Cheating on Ireland

    Subscribe to the audio blog on Spotify | YouTube | Apple While on a late evening chocolate-biscuit-run (that’s picking up biscuits to accompany a cuppa, rather than knocking out a quick 5k to offset calories from previously consumed biscuits) to our local grocery store recently, I picked up a tube of Hobnobs. That may not clear the increasingly high bar […] The post Cheating on Ireland appeared first on .

    Kampala, Uganda | Volunteer Trip

    2025 update: I went on a volunteer trip to Kampala in 2012 with a non-profit called Project Have Hope. Christina had previously interned there and I ended up becoming the bookkeeper for the following 12 years. They still do great work in the Acholi Quarter in Kampala and it is a testament to the founder, […] The post Kampala, Uganda | Volunteer Trip appeared first on .

    Everyone Has A Story

    The first six months I spent in America made me a bit of a recluse. I find this funny because I lived out in the countryside on a farm in the West of Ireland for the first 23 odd years of my life. I had to come to a beautiful, leafy suburb of one of […] The post Everyone Has A Story appeared first on .

    Waffles 2012

    When an Irish man says goodbye to his native shores and dives head first into the international community, he does so to gain new experiences, to meet interesting people, try foods that are not popular in his home country, and drink exciting beers. He attempts to soak in the culture of the place he is […] The post Waffles 2012 appeared first on .

    Paddy’s Day

    Follow the audio blog in Spotify This is a rather tongue-in-cheek article not intended to personally offend you if you are of Irish heritage and do know that it is not Patty’s Day. I don’t hate America as many people suggest. This holiday just brings out the scrooge in me. Dear America, First of all, I […] The post Paddy’s Day appeared first on .
